CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2003
The Company recorded a loss after tax of £289,000. We continue to look
vigorously for a suitable 'reverse' acquisition or investment for the Company,
now that virtually all assets have been converted into cash and all the
reconstruction has been completed.
As reported at the half year on the 20th January 2003 in the High Court of
Justice of the Isle of Man, and following a Special Resolution passed at an
Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company, held on 22nd July 2002, the
capital of the Company was reduced by £12,482,453 from £13,181,126, comprising
254,743,956 issued Deferred Shares of 4.9 pence each and 139,734,602 issued
Ordinary Shares of 0.5 pence each to £698,673 comprising the 139,734,602 issued
Ordinary Shares of 0.5 pence each, such reduction being achieved by the
cancellation of the issued and un-issued Deferred Shares of 4.9 pence each in
the capital of the Company. This completed the legal formalities of the
reconstruction of the Company's share capital.

2. SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS BY GEOGRAPHICAL AREA
The whole of the Company's turnover and loss before taxation arise within the
Isle of Man and United Kingdom. Similarly, all net assets are in the Isle of
Man and United Kingdom with the exception of the investment of £42,000 held at
30 September 2003 in Harrell Hospitality Group Inc., a company based in the
United States of America and the loan to the same company of £103,000, which was
outstanding at 30 September 2002, and which was repaid during the year.
3. LOSS PER ORDINARY SHARE
The calculation of loss per ordinary share is based upon a loss after taxation
of £289,000 (2002: £231,000) and on 139,734,602 ordinary shares being the
weighted number of ordinary shares in issue during the year (2002: 63,592,418).
Share options and warrants do not have a dilutive effect.
